Classic Car Overview
What makes this truck truly special is how much of its original Freewheelin identity remains intact. It still retains the factory Freewheelin stripe package, black bumpers, black mirrors, original Freewheelin interior trim, and the original Freewheelin front bench seat. The seat does show some age-related stress, but it serves as another reminder that this truck has remained remarkably original rather than being altered or covered up.
Discovered in Wyoming by a local Ford truck enthusiast, this F150 was acquired as a running example and thoughtfully refreshed mechanically while preserving its originality. Extensive service work has already been completed, allowing the next owner to focus on enjoying the truck rather than sorting through deferred maintenance.
Spend time around this truck and it becomes clear why it stands apart. I personally used and drove it as an everyday driver for approximately a week and put a couple hundred miles on it. It starts, drives well, and handles the job exactly as a classic 4x4 pickup should. The body wears the bumps, bruises, and character marks earned through decades of honest use, but underneath it remains impressively solid.
Among collector trucks, 1979 Ford F150 4x4 pickups sit at the top of the market when it comes to desirability, and finding a special-edition example this original and this usable is becoming nearly impossible. This is the kind of truck you can preserve and enjoy exactly as it sits, or use as the foundation to bring your own vision to life.
Opportunities like this dont come around often and whichever direction the next owner chooses, there really isnt a wrong decision.
